BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present invention relates to compounds for organic electric elements, organic electric elements using the same, and electronic devices thereof.

Background Art

Flat panel display devices are playing a very important role in supporting a high image information society, showing rapid growth mainly in the Internet in recent years.

In particular, an organic electroluminescent device (organic EL device) capable of being driven at low voltage as self-luminous type has excellent viewing angle and contrast ratio, is lightweight and thin because no backlight is required, and has advantages in terms of power consumption, compared with liquid crystal displays (LCDs) which are the mainstream of flat panel display devices. Also, organic EL device is also getting attention as next generation display device because of their high response speed and wide color reproduction range.

Generally, an organic electroluminescent device is formed on a glass substrate in the following order: an anode made of a transparent electrode, an organic thin film including a light emitting region, and a metal electrode. Here, the organic thin film may include a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron transport layer (ETL), or an electron injection layer (EIL) in addition to an emitting layer (EML) and may further include a an emission-auxiliary layer, an electron blocking layer (EBL) or a hole blocking layer (HBL) on the emission characteristics of the light emitting layer.

When an electric field is applied to the organic electroluminescent device having such a structure, holes are injected from the anode and electrons are injected from the cathode. The injected holes and electrons recombine in the light emitting layer through the hole transporting layer and the electron transporting layer, respectively, thereby forming luminescent excitons. The formed luminescent excitons emit light while transitioning to the ground states. At this time, a luminescent dye (guest) is doped in the light emitting layer (host) to increase the efficiency and stability of the luminescent state.

In order to utilize the organic electroluminescent device in various display media, the lifetime of the device is important, and various studies are currently under way to increase the lifetime of the organic electroluminescent device.

Particularly, various studies for an excellent lifetime characteristic of an organic electric device have been conducted on an organic material which is inserted into a buffer layer such as a hole transporting layer or an emission-auxiliary layer. For this purpose, a hole injecting layer and a hole transporting layer material having high uniformity and low crystallinity are required for forming a thin film after deposition, while giving high hole transporting characteristics from the anode to the organic layer.

In addition, it is required to develop material of a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer that retards penetration/diffusion of metal oxides from an anode electrode (ITO) into an organic layer, which is one cause for the shortened life span of an organic electric element, and has stability against Joule heat generated during the operation of an organic electric element, that is, a high glass transition temperature. Also, it has been reported that a low glass transition temperature of a hole transport layer material has a great effect on the life span of an organic electric element because the uniformity of a thin film surface collapses during the operation of the element.

In general, deposition is a main method of forming an OLED, and thus there is an actual need to develop a material that is durable to such a deposition method, that is, a highly heat-resistant material.

Currently, the major overcoming problem of organic light emitting devices is that the problem of power consumption and lifetime must be solved as the panel size of a mobile phone or a tablet PC becomes larger. However, it is difficult to simultaneously overcome the driving voltage and the lifetime solely by the hole transporting layer material.

This is because most of the materials having excellent hole transporting ability, that is, materials having high hole mobility, mostly have a planar structure (e.g., naphthyl, fluorene, phenanthrene), and the hole mobility and life time are increased when compounds having the above structure (with planarity) up to a certain number are introduced as a substituent of a hole transporting material, however, if the molecules are introduced excessively in order to lower a driving voltage required in the present industry, it is possible to drive at low voltage as the driving voltage is going down but the characteristics of lifetime are remarkably deteriorated.

In the case of a molecule in which planar structures are excessively introduced, holes are trapped and stabilized between the plate structures when the constant current is continuously supplied in the evaluation of device lifetime, so that the hole mobility is lowered, as a result, the driving voltage rises in order to apply a constant current, resulting in an adverse effect on the lifetime of the device. This is expressed by the following equation.

$\begin{matrix} {J = {{\frac{9}{8}\epsilon\;\mu\;\frac{V^{2}}{d^{3}}\theta} = {\frac{9}{8}\epsilon\;\mu\frac{1}{d}F^{2}\theta}}} & {< {{Equation}\mspace{11mu} 1} >} \end{matrix}$

J=Space Charge limited current, ε=Permittibility

μ=Mobility Coefficient, θ=Charge Trap Coefficient (Free Carrier/total Carrier)

V=Voltage, d=Thickness

When the number of free carriers decreases due to a trap phenomenon, in a current driven organic electroluminescent device requiring a constant current, the value of θ decreases and the driving voltage rises. This may bring about a very fatal effect on the lifetime.

Therefore, as described above, introduction of a certain number or more of the plate structure capable of increasing the hole mobility cause a harmful effect on the lifetime, and thus, there is a limit to lowering the driving voltage by using it.

On the other hand, it can be seen that the compound substituted with deuterium shows much thermodynamic behavior as compared with the non-substituted compound. As an example of such thermodynamic properties, comparing the iridium compound substituted with deuterium with the non-substituted compound, the characteristics are different due to the difference between the bond length of carbon and hydrogen and the bond length of carbon and deuterium. It can be confirmed that the van der Waals force between molecules of the compound substituted with deuterium due to the short bonding length becomes weaker comparing to the non-substituted compound, and thus it shows higher luminous efficiency.

When the compound is substituted with deuterium, the energy of the zero point energy, that is, the bottom state is lowered and the molecular hardcore volume becomes smaller as the bond length of carbon and deuterium becomes shorter than the bond length of carbon and hydrogen. Thus, the electron polarizability can be reduced, and the thin film volume can be increased by weakening the intermolecular interaction (J. Polym. Sci. 1980, 18, 853). It is considered that these characteristics can produce an effect of lowering the crystallinity of the thin film, that is, an amorphous state and, in general, it is very effective to realize the necessary amorphous state in order to improve lifetime and driving characteristics of an organic electroluminescent device (Chem. Rev. 2007, 107, 953).

However, many studies have not been conducted on a hole transporting material which can lower the driving voltage and improve the hole transfer ability by substituting with deuterium, and accordingly, it is strongly required to develop materials of the emission-auxiliary layer and the hole transport layer.

SUMMARY

In order to solve one or more of the above-mentioned problems in prior art, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a compound having efficient electron blocking ability and hole transport ability by using the compound substituted with deuterium, and allowing to lower a driving voltage, to improve luminous efficiency, to have a high heat-resistance, and to improve color purity and lifetime of the element, an organic electric element comprising the same, and an electronic device thereof.

FIGURE illustrates an organic electric element according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGURE, an organic electric element 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first electrode 120 formed on a substrate 110, a second electrode 180, and an organic material layer between the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 180, which contains the inventive compound. Here, the first electrode 120 may be an anode (positive electrode), and the second electrode 180 may be a cathode (negative electrode). In the case of an inverted organic electric element, the first electrode may be a cathode, and the second electrode may be an anode.

The organic material layer may include a hole injection layer 130, a hole transport layer 140, a light emitting layer 150, an electron transport layer 160, and an electron injection layer 170 formed on the first electrode 120. Here, layers other than a light emitting layer 150 may be omitted. The organic material layer may further include a hole blocking layer, an electron blocking layer, an emission-auxiliary layer 151, a buffer layer 141, etc., and the electron transport layer 160 or the like may serve as the hole blocking layer.

Although not shown, the organic electric element according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include at least one protective layer or one capping layer formed on at least one of the sides the first and second electrodes, which is a side opposite to the organic material layer.

The inventive compound employed in the organic material layer may be used as a material of a hole injection layer 130, a hole transport layer 140, an electron transport layer 160, an electron injection layer 170, as a host or a dopant material of a light emitting layer 150, or as a material of a capping layer. Preferably, the inventive compound may be used as a hole transport layer 140 and/or the emission-auxiliary layer 151. Also, the inventive compound employed in the organic material layer may be used as a single compound or as a mixture of two or more kinds.

On the other hand, even if the core is the same, the band gap, the electrical characteristics, the interface characteristics, and the like may be different depending on which substituent is bonded at which position. Therefore, the selection of core and the combination of sub-substituents coupled thereto are also very important. Specially, long life span and high efficiency can be simultaneously achieved when the optimal combination of energy levels and T1 values, inherent material properties (mobility, interfacial properties, etc.), and the like among the respective layers of an organic material layer is achieved.

As already described above, generally, in order to solve the emission problem with a hole transport layer of an organic electric element, it is preferable that an emission-auxiliary layer is formed between the hole transport layer and a light emitting layer, and it is necessary to develop different emission-auxiliary layers according to respective light emitting layers (R, G, B). On the other hand, it is very difficult to infer the characteristics of an emission-auxiliary layer, even if the core of an emission-auxiliary layer is similar, because it is necessary to grasp the correlation between the emission-auxiliary layer and a hole transport layer and a light emitting layer (host).

Therefore, according to the present invention, energy levels between organic material layers and T₁ values, inherent material properties (mobility, interfacial properties, etc.), and the like can be optimized by forming a hole transport layer or an emission-auxiliary layer which comprise the compound represented by the Formula 1, and thus it is possible to simultaneously improve the life span and efficiency of the organic electronic element.

The organic electric element according to an embodiment of the present invention may be manufactured using a PVD (physical vapor deposition) method. For example, the organic electric element may be manufactured by depositing a metal, a conductive metal oxide, or a mixture thereof on the substrate to form the anode 120, forming the organic material layer including the hole injection layer 130, the hole transport layer 140, the light emitting layer 150, the electron transport layer 160, and the electron injection layer 170 thereon, and then depositing a material, which can be used as the cathode 180, thereon.

Also, the organic material layer may be manufactured in such a manner that a smaller number of layers are formed using various polymer materials by a soluble process or solvent process, for example, spin coating, nozzle printing, inkjet printing, slot coating, dip coating, roll-to-roll, doctor blading, screen printing, or thermal transfer, instead of deposition. Since the organic material layer according to the present invention may be formed in various ways, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited by a method of forming the organic material layer.

The organic electric element according to an embodiment of the present invention may be of a top emission type, a bottom emission type, or a dual emission type depending on the material used.

In the above, even though an exemplary synthesis example of the present invention represented by the Formula 1 are described, all of them are based on Buchwald-Hartwig cross coupling reaction, Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization reaction (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 5504), Miyaura boration reaction and Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above reaction proceeds even when other substituents (substituents of R¹, R², L¹ to L³, Ar¹, Ar², m and n and the like) defined in Formula 1 are bonded, in addition to the substituents described in the specific synthesis example.

For example, the reaction of Sub 1 and Sub 2->Final Product in Reaction Scheme 1, and the reaction of the starting material->Sub 2 in Reaction Scheme 12 are based on Buchwald-Hartwig cross coupling reaction, the reaction of the starting material->Sub 1-I/Sub1 (L¹=single bond) in Reaction Scheme 2 is based on Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative cyclization reaction, and the reaction of Sub 1-I->Sub 1-II in Reaction Scheme 2 is based on Miyaura boration reaction. Further, the reaction of Sub 1-II->Sub 1 in Reaction Scheme 2 is based on Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The above reactions will proceed even if a substituent not specifically mentioned is attached.

From the results of the above table 4, it can be confirmed that luminous efficiency and lifetime of OLED are improved when the compound of the present invention is used as material of a hole transport layer. Particularly, Comparative Example I-2 to Comparative Example I-5 using Comparative compounds 2 to 5 in which an arylamine group is bonded to dibenzofuran core via a linkage (comprising a single bond) exhibited higher luminous efficiency than Comparative Example I-1 using Comparative compound 1 that is NPB widely used. Further, Example I-1 to Example I-43 using the compound of the present invention in which an arylamine group substituted with deuterium is bonded to dibenzofuran core via a linkage (comprising a single bond) exhibited lower driving voltage, higher luminous efficiency and improved lifetime, comparing to Comparative Example I-2 to Comparative Example I-5.

These results show that the results are different depending on whether or not an arylamine group is substituted with deuterium. When an arylamine group is substituted with deuterium, the molecular hardcore volume is reduced as the zero point energy, that is, the energy of the bottom state, is lowered and the bond length of carbon and deuterium becomes shorter than the bond length of carbon and hydrogen. As a result, the electrical polarizability can be reduced and intermolecular interaction can be weakened, thereby increasing the film volume.

This property can produce an effect of lowering the crystallinity of the thin film, that is, an amorphous state, and this amorphous state can reduce the grain boundary through isotropic and homogeneous characteristics. As a result, it is considered that the charge flow, that is, the hole mobility is increased, thereby making a very effective state in which the driving voltage of the organic electroluminescent device can be lowered and the lifetime can be improved.

[Example III-1] Blue Organic Light Emitting Diode (Emission-Auxiliary Layer)

Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated according to a conventional method by using a compound of the present invention as an emission-auxiliary layer material. First, an ITO layer (anode) was formed on a glass substrate, and 2-TNATA was vacuum-deposited on the ITO layer to form a hole injection layer with a thickness of 60 nm. Subsequently, the Comparative compound 6 was vacuum-deposited with a thickness of 60 nm on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer. Next, the inventive compound P-4 was vacuum-deposited with a thickness of 20 nm on the hole transport layer to form an emission-auxiliary layer. Thereafter, a light emitting layer with a thickness of 30 nm was deposited on the emission-auxiliary layer by doping the emission-auxiliary layer with 9,10-di(naphthalen-2-yl)anthracene (hereinafter abbreviated as “ADN”) as a host material and BD-052X (made by Idemitsu kosan) as a dopant material in a weight ratio of 96:4. Subsequently, BAlq was vacuum-deposited with a thickness of 10 nm on the light emitting layer to form a hole blocking layer, and then a film of Alq₃ was formed with a thickness of 40 nm to form an electron injection layer. Subsequently, LiF as halogenated alkali metal was deposited with a thickness of 0.2 nm on the electron injection layer, and then Al was deposited with a thickness of 150 nm thereon to form a cathode. In this way, an OLED was completed.

[Example III-2] to [Example III-12] Blue OLED (an Emission-Auxiliary Layer)

The OLEDs were fabricated in the same manner as described in Example III-1 except that the compounds P-6 to P-51 of the present invention described in Table 7, instead of the compound P-4 of the present invention, were used as an emission-auxiliary layer material.

Comparative Example III-1

The OLED was fabricated in the same manner as described in Example III-1 except that an emission-auxiliary layer was not formed.

[Comparative Example IIII-2] to [Comparative Example III-4] Blue OLED (an Emission-Auxiliary Layer)

The OLEDs were fabricated in the same manner as described in Example III-1 except that the Comparative compounds 3 to 5 described in Table 7, instead of the compound P-4 of the present invention, were used as an emission-auxiliary layer material.

Electroluminescence (EL) characteristics were measured with a PR-650(Photoresearch) by applying a forward bias DC voltage to the OLEDs prepared in Examples III-1 to III-12 of the present invention and Comparative Examples III-1 to III-4. And, the T95 life time was measured using a life time measuring apparatus manufactured by Macscience Inc. at reference brightness of 500 cd/m². The measurement results are shown in Table 7 below.

From the results shown in Tables 5 to 7, it can be seen that the luminous efficiency and lifetime of the organic electroluminescent device are remarkably improved when compounds of the present invention were used as an emission-auxiliary layer material, compared with the organic electroluminescent device of Comparative Example II-1 to Comparative Example III-4.

From these results, it is confirmed that luminescent efficiency and lifetime of device are improved when Comparative Compounds 2 to 5 and the compound of the present invention are used as an emission-auxiliary layer material, among them, particularly the compound of the present invention, compared with device not having an emission-auxiliary layer.

It can be confirmed that the structure in which an arylamine group substituted with deuterium is bonded to dibenzofuran core via a linkage (comprising a single bond) acts as a major factor in improving the performance of the device in the light-emitting auxiliary layer (green phosphorescence, blue fluorescence) as well as in the hole transport layer. Also, it is confirmed that the compound of the present invention used as the light emitting auxiliary layer material has a deep HOMO energy level and a high T1 value, thereby maintaining the charge balance in the light emitting layer and performing an effective electronic blocking function, as a result, the light emitting efficiency and lifetime are improved.

Further, it can be confirmed that the planarity of the molecules is further increased when 1 to 2 substituents having planarity are introduced into the amine group of the compound of the present invention, and the packing density is increased, thereby reducing the Joule heat generated when the device is driven, as a result, the lifetime is remarkably increased due to the high thermal stability. It is considered that this is because the substituent having planarity is not introduced excessively and within an appropriate range, so that the rise of the driving voltage due to the trap phenomenon hardly occurs and the improvement of the heat resistance is more effective.

Accordingly, the compound of the present invention can provide an effective electron blocking ability and a hole transporting ability, and the compound of the present invention can lower the driving voltage of the device, increase the luminous efficiency, have high heat resistance, and improve the color purity and lifetime.

In addition, in the evaluation results of the device fabrication described above, even though the characteristics of devise have been described when the compound of the present invention is used as material of only one layer of the hole transport layer and an emission-auxiliary layer, the compound of the present invention can be used as material of both the hole transport layer and an emission-auxiliary layer.

Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims. Therefore, the embodiment disclosed in the present invention is intended to illustrate the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by the embodiment.
